3. Tragically, there are dozens of these stories just waiting to be uncovered.

Rosewood, FL -- January 1923 is another example.

White woman tells husband that a black man accosted and attacked her (It was her white lover.). Husband grabs gun, gathers other white men with him. Group becomes screaming ugly mob of white men (augmented by the local KKK) bent on violence. Residents of Rosewood (all Black except for one white family) are murdered where they stand, homes and businesses are burned to the ground. Rosewood is destroyed.

I think we will read many more of these stories in the near future.
